Martine McCutcheon is probably best known on this side of the pawn for her role as Hugh Grant (as England's Prime Minister)'s secretary in LOVE ACTUALLY (the cutest movie ever made). But she had previously had considerable success as a television actress, pop singer, and won a slew of awards as Eliza Doolittle in Trevor Nunn's acclaimed MY FAIR LADY. The wikipedia article on her indicates she's something of a hot mess with her most recent work being in the public appearance/spokesperson realm, but the her surpsingly satisfying rendition of "Don't Rain on My Parade" (even if the last phrase is not quite thrilling enough) indicates that a return to the musical theater stage (were that she were Charlotte in the Night Music revival!) is necessary.
